Oldy wanting to take it up again !!

Need help please.
I am wanting to take up astronomy again and get my 10 year old son involved.
I have an old Tasco 5" telescope still in excellent order but to be honest, got sick of looking through one eye.......

I am now possibly interested in astronomy binoculars. In particular the following 2 models:

Saxon M 25X100 and the GarrettŪ Signature 28x110 Binoculars.

The Saxons I can get here in Melbourne but the Garretts need to be imported from the US. The Garretts have recd fantastic reviews to date....

My question is as follows, would these provide a great means for viewing planets, moon & nebulaes/galaxies??

I am aware I would need to get a good mount but wondering on your feedback.

I was interested in the Celestron Nexstar 6 but wife has already said no

So for less then half the price are these binoculars. No more viewing with one eye.

Any advice would be welcome.

thanks
